Josh Windass has played down talks of a return to Rangers after links emerged in the last transfer window.

The 32-year-old spent two seasons in G51 and has most recently been impressing in the Championship for Wrexham.

Windass’ versatility across the front line would have been an attractive asset with a potential league title number 56 on the line.

In the end, he would end up staying in Wales, but the noise surrounding Rangers and the Englishman has not quietened.

Windass also did play under Danny Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday, adding another point of intrigue to a potential Rangers transfer.

What did Josh Windass say about Rangers return?

Former Rangers player Windass is keeping his cards close to his chest over rumours linking him with a return to Govan.

As the Gers looked to add to their attacking options in the winter window, Windass emerged as a potential Rangers arrival.

However, ultimately, nothing would come of those links to the now Wrexham man, who has since responded to those links.

On the morning of 24 March, Windass featured on talkSPORT and was asked directly by host Jim White about the chance of returning to the Glasgow club.

The Englishman was quick to bat down the question, laughing it off and stating: “I don’t know who you heard that off, stop trying to cause trouble on here.”

How a Rangers move for Windass could be complicated by Wrexham’s season

If Rangers do still hold interest in signing Windass, the status of Wrexham’s promotion hopes could play a major role in whether a deal is feasible.

Throughout his career, Windass has never played in England’s top flight, and with the Red Dragons only outside the play-off spots on goal difference, there is every chance the Englishman could complete that career first.

At 32 years old, this could be one of his final chances to become a Premier League player.

At the moment, the former Bears star has a contract until 2027-2028, putting the Championship club in a strong negotiating position.

If Wrexham fail to get promoted, Windass could be tempted with a return to the Gers, especially if they have European football.

As a result, any chance of bringing Windass back to Ibrox could ultimately depend on both Rangers having a strong end to the season and Wrexham faltering in theirs.
